I didn't think that was under discussion. To what purpose?

My opinion is that we should put the MSVC runtimes in the system folder 
(already in the PATH, so Audacity will find them) and the wxWidgets DLLs 
either there, or in the Audacity folder (assuming few other apps will 
want them). And for any of them, if they're going to replace an existing 
version (more likely with the MSVC runtimes), check the version/date and 
ask the user.
